My back off plan is in full effect. I am doing it primarily for my own sanity and increased happiness. W's reaction is an interesting by-product. Her message said she was going on SIL's boat today. She made no mention of when she plans on coming home. I don't really have anything to say to her, so I won't be calling her back.
I was gently reminded by my barista friend that he needs at least one of the two Cappucino machines I am repairng in a week and a half. I just received the parts, so I am staying home today to fix that. It is very hot here (90+) and humid, so it is nice to work in the shop with its sprayed insulation.
I had a hard time justifying a 4 hour drive in an empty V8 for one night of camping, so I am going to go up to the nearby state park and camp on the lake tonight. Much cooler there than at home( we were too cheap to install AC... a mistake! At least I put in plenums for future AC options)
I tend to doubt that W will be home tonight. Poor kitty is bearing the brunt of our absence.
W will feel me letting her go, because I am definitiely letting her go. I don't even wish to stop her from doing what she chooses to do. I am very turned off by what she is choosing to do, and she is slowly but surely becoming someone I choose not to have in my life. It is really a shame, because I truly believe that we were soul mates before all of this conflict avoidance eroded our relationship.
